I'm so excited to welcome back many of our past Sweeties to join in our special celebration. Instead of showing you all their cards here, we're going to have a blog hop. On each blog, you'll find a prize from one of the sponsors above. To be entered for the prize on that blog, you'll need to follow the rules on the Sweetie's blog. Here's the order in case you get lost.

You can find all the previous cupcakes HERE. To be entered for the grand prize, make a card using any of our past cupcake inspirations and enter using the linky by noon on March 9th. Be sure to have a link to or picture of your inspiration cupcake on your blog. We would love to have you play along this week! Be sure to check out our rules on the left.

Enjoyed the hop. Now to ck out what fav cupcake I'll use. I commented on all except for 2 that I'll ck back later on. Erica did not have a current post for the 200th blog hop. Piali asked me to enter a username & such and I did not understand why. I also used the hop to comment on and let people know about the wkly challenge I host at Mark's Finest Papers Simple Salutations in which the challenge this wk is Anything Goes. Membership in MFP is free. Please join, enter & let them know I sent you.Melissa"Sunshine HoneyBee"MFP SS Hostess

FINALLY, this is the first time I've entered a Cupcake Inspirations challenge even though I've been following this blog for like... years! I always feel like I can't do the cupcakes justice. Plus they make me hungry.

Since I've never done one before, I just picked a cupcake from the list. It was hard to choose... I chose challenge 91, the peach-gold cupcake.
